Merry Christmas!!

I drew/painted stuff!! So I finished the gifts for my dad and one of two of my brothers. Since he doesn't live with us he'll be getting his gift later than the others so I'm allowed to say I've successfully completed gifts.

My brother requested Marceline from Adventure Time and so he received Marceline. This really made me wanna watch Adventure Time since I never actually watched much of it as a kid. I stole the Ice King's mountains for the background cuz they look really really cool. Don't ask why Marceline is dressed for summer in the winter.

I like how the background turned out mainly because of my bias toward blue gradients but also it took me forever to decide how to do it and probably would've turned out better if I had even a bit of a plan. I used watercolor pencils to color in Marceline but the background is just regular watercolor paint and acrylic paint for the clouds.

So. For my dad. I kinda very much cannot look at what I did this year without getting kinda depressed and discouraged over little details because, since it was so time consuming and there were so many times where I thought it would come together nicely, I just wish it turned out better when it was put together. I might post it some other time.

Instead of that you can see the painting I did for my dad last year! He said he liked older cartoons and one of shows he mentioned was Tom & Jerry and so he received Tom & Jerry. Also we've found a channel that plays cartoons like that 24/7 and we watch it together sometimes. This is where I got the idea to draw Bugs Bunny this year but y'all don't get to see that.

Image quality is kinda ass but whatever. I'm genuinely kinda proud of this one. My main problems are just "feet are stupid" and that letters are hard. This was all just paint pens (which is why it turned out so decent). I'm surprised that the colors I had were all exactly what I needed. Idk what else to say about this. It's Tom. It's Jerry. I, for once in my life, kinds like something I made.

So yep. Christmas has been Christmased. I am tired. I will sleep now- nevermind I now have a bunch of stuff to clean up. And it's all on my bed so I can't avoid it. Dammit.

am sick of making fun without telling that old story about consequence from a fallen star this sounds hypocrital from you to do what we did in new years eve when we both fucked slow & warm sheets before our third honey & tequila dose cloudlike white powder a smoke & disappear wondering if a heartbreak, makes sense if there's no jokes said fuked girl go dream so i left my body asking for permission to drown in my own tears.

cherry candy shoes, a vision from heaven going to die effortly behave a river invisible landed conceded a blind old man you both once called father i mean & screaming each others name a blessed daughter & mother this ceaseless war

Hell in my veins a single doll made from cups of glass & lonely by what we going to do without, hands against the

immaculate way of surviving through fire from her signature lightner so i authorize the purity that cames from her bathroom wine & candlelight forms as angel wings a pair from lollipops lips gleam an aching boredom flying over us fever menstruation deep at woods & forest landscape empty room paradise. they moaning could be the last adventure & rollercoaster akind street trying to not look at myself blood sheets something else i forget & forgive drip the cards & say you'll always have me hit me then smile think about promises we'd scream behind sadness in our pale eyes & make this pain goes

away why while nothing touches things we be stealing from teenagers & nice strangers destroy what burns through we don't needs, self effort draw in your skin a letter to your papa saying all you wanted is, to be blind when your girl is in love with you but not dare to understand that her lavender bra is too much for a man that doesn't laughs against law wet dizzy & raw milk.

dry your arms & rot around forget me i'm not sorry because i'm not an actress give up at trying to find girl's cum i'll never do this again i said already mommy washed away my best sunday dress & now i have nobody that's the same of you they knew own me recover sit up your weed we don't need to share you listened & close from that tale guilt art & free from abuse woman don't suffer we tolerate always fucking & never learning so how you want me to make this viewed as its easy life's couldn't be a lie but with you i grew as a liar they don't see me when i'm with you even with big eyelids & sunset reflecting in my cold face.

let go. don't interrupt me when my guardian angel is in a conversation with done models at past midnight spring, summer

unscrubbling utopia stop saying you couldn't see something as black as blackness when i'd hit my convulsioned throat in bath & you make them believe it was for love i don't only cut myself i put my house down. poison ivy exhales same smoke but garanteed this isn't sweet go on touch me before it again forcing destiny curl back in static moments your bullets fails off & you sleepy baby from nowhere that doesn't lay in any place that isn't a saint's bed keep running you're doing your best & i don't even asked for it i the girl that never swallows that never deal waiting for a pill coma fourteen years bad stuff collector gave you a lot of brightlight tender & close her body in 200km a hour. no you don't mean anything it's over i smell as good as birthday cake i become my ex knife delusional fragment from no name outland. survive is how i tell good luck this become the grave & love, a christmas tree

Bby it's hard to drink my mouth twist in the corner with dissolving ass shit & never lift.

Hi @galacticlycoris As I am starting to get used to Tumblr (as this is my first social media account), I am enjoying doing these Q&A things! So, I thought it would be fun to ask some friendship questions to you, as you seem like a very lovely person!

1. What is your favorite season and why?

2. What is your favorite genre of music and why? (If you have one, what is your current favorite song/artist?)

3. What are your favorite top 5 relationships you ship?

4. What is your favorite book genre and why? (If you have one, what is your current favorite author/book?)

5. When did you first get interested in drawing? How did it come about? (Your drawings are so cute and you can see that you have great talent in drawing, by the way! 🤩)

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Thope we can become friends in the near future as I follow you on this platform! ❤️❤️

Hello to you, and to new followers who know me only from Tumblr! You can call me Shuuya! I used to post my art on Twitter only. Although I haven't been drawing much lately (most of the stuff I've been posting here recently are older art), I'm hoping to draw more next year and be more interactive over here. So please don't hesitate to comment, send asks, etc! (｡◜‿◝｡)

1. What is your favorite season and why?

We only have summer and Lots of Fucking Rain where I live lmao but I've experienced spring and autumn in my travels and I think I like spring the best!

2. What is your favorite genre of music and why? (If you have one, what is your current favorite song/artist?)

I wouldn't say it's my favourite, but I do listen mostly to pop? This year I got into Stray Kids! I've been listening to their latest mini album MAXIDENT a lot recently.... but since it's Christmas season, I recommend their song 24 to 25! "((∩´︶`∩))"

3. What are your favorite top 5 relationships you ship?

I dont really have "top" ships, I dont think? Uh I guess we can base it on ships I drew a lot for throughout the years... xicheng (mdzs), emuhiiro (kr exaid), sarumi (k project), wenzhou (shl). there's also da qing/ye zun (guardian); while i haven't drawn them as much as i have the others on this list, it's a very special ship to me ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)

4. What is your favorite book genre and why? (If you have one, what is your current favorite author/book?)

hmmmm I guess I like fantasy stuff? My favourite books is Howl's Moving Castle. Recently I finally read The Song of Achilles and Circe! I highly recommend, even though both broke me 😭😭😭

5. When did you first get interested in drawing? How did it come about? (Your drawings are so cute and you can see that you have great talent in drawing, by the way! 🤩)

Thank you! I've always been interested in drawing since I was a kid because I have always been into anime and stuff like that? I drew a lot in high school, stopped during uni, and picked it back up seriously sometime around maybe 2016? (yes, i am old lmao) Although we had art classes in grade school, we weren't really taught about the things that would actually make a difference in your art, like the type of paper to use for certain mediums, etc. So when I decided to pick up watercolors as an adult, I had to learn from scratch. Thankfully unlike when I was a kid, there's now an abundance of information on the internet.

Thanks for the questions! I hope you found my answers interesting. I like these q&a stuff but no one really sends me anything and I'm a p boring person anyway, no juicy story to share around here hahahahaha

[oh-shadowlord]

This was a year!

First of all thanks to @artofponara on twitter (check his art!!) for providing the template and thanks to @ultramarini (check her art!!) for joining everything together, this year I was going to make it myself, but my laptop stopped working on weekends and it's a shame and I had to ask her to make everything for me AGAIN lol

I'm so happy with how my 2020 went in terms of art. There's almost nothing I didn't liked in result and this final understanding that I can enjoy what I make is overwhelming, I don't know why but even last year I thought that being proud of my pics is something disgusting and I didn't deserve all kind words (probably because I was very depressed that even had to take meds, but fortunately that's in the past). But this year is different and I can proudly say that I'm awesome and I make awesome stuff and capable of making even more awesome things.

I'm so happy because when I wrote about myself in the end of 2019 I told that my goal for next year is learning how to tell stories through art, make backgrounds and make expressive pose (probably I meant something else except sitting and standing) and by looking at what I have now, I can say all those goals are now completed and during 2021 I will sharpen my skills.

This year is also awesome because coming back to Tumblr in summer was a good decision, I like it here actually, people are nice, humor is specific and I like that I can write unlimited amounts of text and people most likely won't skip it.

Anyway! Thank you for being with me people, this is one of the lasts posts of 2020, I have something that I:lol hopefully finish by Christmas and two Gideon the Ninth pics I don't want to leave for January ❤️

And under cut you can see summaries from previous years, and yes, in 2016 I was about to stop drawing, haha fool

[assless-chapstick]

Hi Noble, I am in a bad place right now just feeling sad and low. Wanted to ask you for some Charthur ranch life headcannons? Your writing always cheers me up and distracts me when I'm sad. No pressure if you don't want to, just the act of writing this helped a little already 💕

Aw feller, I’m sorry to hear that you ain’t feelin so hot. Times is rough all over, and some times it feels a little difficult to keep on pushing, don’t it? Hopefully I can whip up something that might help cheer you up.

I been thinking a lot lately about what Arthur and Charles do around the ranch, especially in the winter time. The spring, summer, n autumn are more busy for them than the winter is, I imagine. In the spring Arthur spends a couple weeks our at the different ranches in the area, helping out with calving and foaling and what not. He’s real good with animals, and hes got a much smaller property than some of the other ranchers in the area, so he don’t mind helping out none. He trades his services for like, meat n stuff from his neighbours.

Charles goes away hunting on a big fur trip in the autumn, most years. He and Arthur of course hunt together during the summer, but in the fall Charles goes away for a couple weeks to get a bunch of furs, spends the winter tanning them. Winter is really for things like that, building furniture, etc… things he can do in his workshop.

I also think Arthur spends a lot of time in the garden during the summer. It’s a huge garden, too, with rows and rows of corn, potatoes, carrots, and cabbage. Any given day from May til September, Arthur’s out there weeding and watering and checking for pests. He likes the sun, ain’t really able to get used to living indoors.

Sometimes, he works the garden shirtless, on really hot days. Every spring, Charles teases Arthur about how white he is, and every summer he rinses Arthur’s back with cold water after he (inevitably) gets his first sunburn. After that, Arthur always gets tan and golden brown with the sun, and his hair gets all sun bleached and he looks so healthy that Charles just has to kiss him when he finds him between the rows of corn.

A couple summers in, Arthur plants beets, cuz they’re hardy and do well in the soil. He learns that winter that Charles hates beets – Arthur’d canned a whole bunch, and over dinner one night Charles asks how many cans they have left.

Arthur is like, “aw hell, I don’t know, maybe eight or nine? Why?” and Charles is just like “no reason.” And goes back to eating… the beets…. But Arthur can read him so well, knows by the set of his shoulders that Charles is disappointed, and he can’t help but laugh, cuz it’s so damn cute. Charles never complains about food or cooking (except to tease Arthur) so for him to actually dislike a food is just so novel, and they’ve been together for years and Arthur is delighted that there are still things he doesn’t know about Charles.

So Arthur kisses him and steals his plate and finishes the beets… they have them much less often after that, and Arthur plants turnips instead the following year. And he trades some of the beets away to Mrs Shevchenko (who’s daughter is 21 and engaged to be married but still makes big moony eyes over Arthur, who is pushing 40, at mass every Sunday) in exchange for some of her pickles, because the garlic and dill she uses is just the best….

Oh! And during the summer, the boys both like to stroll through the strawberry patch to eat the ripe ones… and Charles will sometimes pull a carrot from the garden and rinse it n eat it right there as he watches Arthur try and wrangle the goats so he can sheer them… (can you shear goats?)

So I think they spend much of the year outside, gardening, caring for the animals (along with the goats they’ve got like 6 horses and some chickens and a few dogs that roam around and of course, Cheater the cat), hunting and fishing…

The winter is harder on Arthur, I think, because he likes to be busy and can’t stand to be inside all day long. I think in the winter, he paints, just to have something to do with his hands; he don’t like being stuck inside all day. He’s a pretty garbage painter, though…. Charles buys him some pastels and charcoal, and he does much better with those. His pastel portraits are beautiful, though he mostly does wildlife and florals.

They both try to take up knitting and mending, and are both pretty horrible with it… Arthur does a lot of the mending because he’s marginally better, but it’s still Pretty Bad.

They spend a lot of evening in the winter by the fire, reading to one another or playing cards, or dominos… Arthur will lie between Charles’s legs as Charles massages his shoulders, might hum something for him …

They don’t really celebrate Christmas, I don’t think. Neither of them did it growing up, and they’re not religious – Arthur only goes to mass on Sundays because to not do so would draw suspicion. So they don’t celebrate Christmas…. But the lesbians, Sue and Louise-Anne, do, and they always invite Charles and Arthur over for Christmas dinner. They mother the boys, a little (one of the women has an estranged son but we don’t talk about him), and give them socks or jumpers for Christmas… the first year the boys didn’t get them anything (they didn’t know!!) and they felt awful…. Now they get ladies yarn or furs or furniture that Charles made in his workshop (Arthur does a beautiful job on carving the details and adding inlays)

All in all, it’s a peaceful existence, and they keep busy. I think, on nights like this where it’s cold and snowy and the sun sets early, they make love under the guise of getting warm… there ain’t much to do once the sun goes down, save for curl up in bed n kiss slow and lazy til they’re grinding up against one another and Charles is cooing in Arthur’s ear about what a pretty little housewife he makes and how soft his tits feel now that he’s got his winter weight on…

I hope that cheered you up a lil bit, mister!! Happy trails!!
